“The text flows very well and the stories are cleverly intertwined. The world of the narrator and herself are fascinating. Due to her social condition and her desires, she moves in a world with a very wide spectrum that places us in 20th century Mexico from diverse but intertwined perspectives and moments. The ending is surprising. After a story where biographies are crossed and stories of what was lived or what was kept in a trunk are rescued, fiction abruptly appears and those life stories become the counterweight of a crazy and libertarian dream against the struggles of everyday life. , sustained struggles of conviction and congruence that crystallize, in the end, in the encounter with Zapata, the idol who inspires and encourages them from his mythical pedestal in the pantheon of heroes.”
